What is also well-known is that as long as the US preserves legacy reserve currency status even by the tiniest of threads, inflation through debt deluge-funded money creation will always be chosen outcome.

Just as was the case in Germany in the 1920s.

In fact, as the following video shows, the parallels between where the US is now, and where Weimar Germany were just before everything took a turn for the parabolic, are a few too many for comfort.

The only major difference so far is that in Weimar, the creation of massive rampant inflation was what economists would call, "successful."

The neutrino—an electrically-neutral subatomic particle that rarely interacts with matter, passing through gases, liquids, and solids with little probability of ever interacting with anything in the universe.

According to the current Standard Model of physics, neutrinos cannot have mass, but the outcome of the experiment suggests that in fact they do.

About one-third of bolts tested were found to have snapped. The MTC and Caltrans will be evaluating whether or not all 288 need to be replaced or if they can make an exterior collar for the structure instead.

A joint paper by the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Bank of England dated December 10, 2012, shows that these plans have been long in the making; that they originated with the G20 Financial Stability Board in Basel, Switzerland; and that the result will be to deliver clear title to the banks of depositor funds.

In the following article, Selco delves even further, detailing real life scenarios, training tactics and other key information that will undoubtedly help save your life should the streets of America turn into a war zone.

Overnight, South Korea briefly placed a border military unit on its highest alert, in an indication of the heightened tensions.

The alert happened early on Wednesday after a South Korean soldier discovered a "strange object" at the border, military officials said.

The alert prepares troops for a possible incursion from North Korea.

The soldier, who was at a military post in Hwacheon, in South Korea's north-eastern Gangwon province, threw a grenade at the object at around 02:30 local time (17:30 GMT), officials said. The alert was lifted at 09:20 local time.

The two banks at the centre of the crisis - Cyprus Popular Bank, also known as Laiki, and Bank of Cyprus - have units in London which remained open throughout the week and placed no limits on withdrawals.

Bank of Cyprus also owns 80 percent of Russia's Uniastrum Bank, which put no restrictions on withdrawals in Russia.

While ordinary Cypriots queued at ATM machines to withdraw a few hundred euros as credit card transactions stopped, other depositors used an array of techniques to access their money.

The BRICS nations [Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa] , which have combined foreign-currency reserves of $4.4 trillion and account for 43 percent of the world's population, are seeking greater sway in global finance to match their rising economic power.

They have called for an overhaul of management of the World Bank and IMF, which were created in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in 1944, and oppose the practice of their respective presidents being drawn from the U.S. and Europe.

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Tuesday its strategic rocket and long-range artillery units have been ordered to be combat ready, targeting U.S. military bases on Guam, Hawaii and mainland America after U.S. bombers flew sorties threatening the North.

South Korea's defense ministry said it saw no sign of imminent military action by North Korea.

In case anyone is still confused about what is going on, here is the summary: any geographic venue that for whatever reason was once considered a global tax haven in the "Old Normal", be it Switzerland, Greece, Luxembourg, Singapore, or as the case may be Lichtenstein, is now fair game for confiscation and otherwise expropriation of local capital.

In other words, the forced ~30% wealth tax on all financial assets is coming. -- ZH

Work towards self-sufficiency – if you buy less, you can earn less: grow your food, repair your own home or vehicle, do things manually instead of using expensive equipment, lessen your dependency on the grid.

Simplify – this goes hand in hand with self sufficiency: find your entertainment from library books and online resources, skip eating out, take a walk instead of joining a gym – the less you feel you need, the less money you will have to earn.

The decision to unbank or underbank is unique to every individual.

The further away you can get from "the system" the more privacy and security you will have.

The suggestions above are not meant to be comprehensive – they're meant to get you thinking about how you can disengage.

A Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) "urgent bulletin" being sent to Embassies around the world today [3/21] is advising both Russian citizens and companies to begin divesting their assets from Western banking and financial institutions "immediately" as Kremlin fears grow that both the European Union and United States are preparing for the largest theft of private wealth in modern history.

3 earthquakes M3+, an M3.1, an M3.5 and a M3.6, were all felt by (some) people at El Hierro, which is normal at these magnitudes. No fundamental change in depth and hypocenter location. The current activity can lead to even stronger earthquakes.

We want to reiterate to our readers from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean NOT TO BELIEVE so called imminent Tsunami danger alerts spread in articles and videos. There is NO reason whatsoever to believe that there is a high risk for a dramatic event.

This new documentary from Future Money Trends highlights the similarities between modern day America and the German Weimar Republic, one of the most infamous examples of out-of-control hyperinflation in history.

The chickens were coming home to roost.

Life was hard for many people.

The national debt had risen to a point that it could not be realistically paid back.

The war had cost more than expected.

There was high unemployment.

Products and services increasedin price.

Production had decreased significantly.

The government acted, providing liquidity to banks and inflating the currency.

Having left the gold standard, uncertainty loomed and the country's economy began to spiral out of control.

Sound familiar?

This was Germany, 1920.

A EUR900 million trade rocked the London options markets this morning. The two-week put on the euro against the U.S. dollar stood out as options trading in EUR/USD has been quiet this year due to the range-bound nature of spot, according to traders in London.

A meteor bright enough to be classified as a fireball lit up the night sky over eastern North America on Friday, providing a spectacle witnessed in at least 13 states, Washington, D.C. and two Canadian provinces, the American Meteor Society said.

I hear many excuses and conflicts in my work as an economic analyst and preparedness adviser. Some come from people who are already in the liberty movement and should know better. Others come from people who for one reason or another seek to dissuade us from personal preparation. Here are just a handful of the many irrational arguments against survival planning that I am confronted with on a daily basis.

At the end of the Triassic period, at least half of the species living on land and in the ocean went extinct, opening the way for dinosaurs to dominate Earth for the next 135 million years. Scientists have long suspected massive volcanic eruptions were to blame, but they haven't been able to pin down the exact timing until now.

Khamenei, in a televised speech marking the Iranian new year, said: "At times the officials of the Zionist regime (Israel) threaten to launch a military invasion but they themselves know that if they make the slightest mistake the Islamic Republic will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground."

Abstract: The former statistical properties summarized by Rikitake (1998) on unusual an behavior before an earthquake (EQ) have first been presented by using two parameters (epicen distance (D) of an anomaly and its precursor (or lead) time (T)). Three plots are utilize characterize the unusual animal behavior; (i) EQ magnitude (M) versus D, (ii) log T versus M, and occurrence histogram of log T. These plots are compared with the corresponding plots for diffe seismo-electromagnetic effects (radio emissions in different frequency ranges, seismo-atmosph and -ionospheric perturbations) extensively obtained during the last 15–20 years. From the res of comparisons in terms of three plots, it is likely that lower frequency (ULF (ultra-low-frequency 1 Hz) and ELF (extremely-low-frequency, f ≤ a few hundreds Hz)) electromagnetic emissions exhi very similar temporal evolution with that of abnormal animal behavior. It is also suggested th quantity of field intensity multiplied by the persistent time (or duration) of noise would play primary role in abnormal animal behavior before an EQ.

The development comes amid high tensions on the Korean peninsula and days after the North accused the United States of staging cyber-attacks against it following a two-day internet outage that disrupted its main news services and websites.

The United States government has fallen. No local police to protect citizens. What you can learn from the U.S. Special Forces about defending your hometown from drug cartels, violent street gangs, outlaw motorcycle clubs and even the local mafia.
